Paicines, CA -- Stork Peterkin Foundation (Wild Farmers Project), Our mission is to preserve, protect, and restore, wildlife and habitat; while bringing greater understanding of the connection, and the interaction necessary, for the well-being and sustainability of our communities, the wilderness and its inhabitants.

As just one of their several projects, in collaboration with Ryan O'Dell, Ecological Specialist, Rare Native Wildflower Specialist, Botanist, Forensic Bonaist, Soils Scientist, Paleontologist from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. SPIF’s Wild Farmer’s project led a wildflower walk through a preserve in Northern CA.

Wildfarmers believes that everything is interconnected. Strengthening humanity through the restoration of habitat. In addition to wilderness and wildlife habitat, they focus on business development, arts and culture, secure archive to store culture and nature for future generations, and all facets of the human community. Without a strong secure life and future, out of balance humanity cannot address the problems of regeneration of the environment. Individuals struggling to survive have no interest in or room for thought about the need for wilderness conservation. Without a secure way to store information we will not be able to pass on wilderness and cultural experiences to future generations. Wilderness and wilderness conservation is a misnomer for indigenous and native forest and land management strategies.

Just months before the highly publicized 1992 Civil Unrest, young Mark Ridley-Thomas was newly elected as City Councilman. During this time banks and stores were closing, along with the factories; social services were inefficient and under–resourced. Jobs disappeared in a deep recession, and there were long waits at down-sized public agencies. Teen centers and youth programs had closed; meanwhile, ran rapid in South LA.

These and other economic and social conditions drove community activists and advocates to speak out and demand accountability from their local government. After taking office, Ridley-Thomas' and his constituents now had access to a new set of tools to build a permanent vehicle for citizen leadership, establishing the Empowerment Congress. The Empowerment Congress created a structure to channel that activism and coordinate advocacy efforts. The Civil Unrest fires of 1992 further ignited the civic resolve of the constituents, pushing the Empowerment Congress into full gear, with a straightforward motto to Educate, Engage, Empower.

From its beginnings with a meager 30-40 community members meeting, now more than 20 years later the annual Empowerment Congress summit draws hundreds. Initially, much attention had been directed at police brutality issues, which dominated the political climate of the time. And yet, after over two decades, law enforcement and community issues still remains a focus, in addition to persistent racial and economic disparities in every aspect of the community environment – education, wages, housing, health. More than ever, the Empowerment Congress is needed to equip residents to put forth an agenda representing their interests.

January 1992 – Sherita Herring served as a presenter, with former Governor Gray Davis delivering the keynote address. Over 500 constituents, community leaders and city officials were in attendance.

Hurricane Katrina (August 23, 2005) -- According to Wikipedia, Hurricane Katrina, was an extremely destructive and deadly tropical cyclone. It was one of the costliest natural disasters, and one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States.

In New Orleans, the levees were designed for Category 3, but Katrina peaked at a Category 5 hurricane, with winds up to 175 mph.

The final death toll was at 1,836, primarily from Louisiana (1,577) and Mississippi (238). More than half of these victims were senior citizens.

705 people are reported as still missing, as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

Costa Mesa, CA -- Prior to when most other states had not considered equipping patrol cars with in-car cameras, in 1997 the City of Costa Mesa, California Police Department was ahead of the curve.

Later in 2000, the Department of Justice's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) created the In-Car Camera Incentive Program. The program provided financial aid to state police and highway patrol agencies for the sole purpose of purchasing and installing in-car camera systems. The first federal awards were dispersed in 2000, and, by the end of 2003, 47 states and the District of Columbia had received a total of more than 21 million dollars in federal assistance for the purchase of in-car cameras.

Prior to the COPS Office In-Car Camera Incentive Program, 11 percent of the state police and highway patrol vehicles were equipped with in-car cameras. By 2004, 72 percent of the state police and highway patrol vehicles used for patrol were equipped with video systems, and this number has continued to increase. In the early inception, during a three-year span, the number of in-car camera systems grew from 3,400 to 17,500. Twenty-five percent (4,500) of the in-car camera systems were purchased through the COPS Office incentive program.

In May 1997 P.A.’s President, Sherita Herring, served on the Law Enforcement Block Grant Committee to aid in securing in-car cameras for the Costa Mesa Police Department.

Hudson, FL -- In addition to the over 900,000 police officers nation-wide, that are sworn to protect and serve, there are thousands of first responders (firefighters, emergency medical technicians/paramedics), that also risk and sometimes lose their lives every year.

Of the 2,977 victims killed in the September 11 attacks, 411 were emergency workers in New York who responded to the World Trade Center (343 firefighters including a chaplain and two paramedics); 37 police officers of Port Authority of NY and NJ Police Departments); 23 police officers of the NYPD; and 8 emergency medical technicians and paramedics from private emergency medical services.

Turning tragedy into triumph, Chrissy Johnson has formed the Off-Road United Foundation, Inc. (ORU). Through ORU’s primary program, Krawl’n for the Fallen, they have aided the families of fallen first responders by helping them to heal and rebuild their lives; while also offering additional services to shape strong municipal alliances, empower youth, and bridge the gap between law enforcement and communities.

Malaria is preventable and curable, and increased efforts are dramatically reducing the malaria burden in many places

Increased prevention and control measures have led to a 29% reduction in malaria mortality rates globally since 2010

Between 2010 and 2015, malaria incidence among populations at risk (the rate of new cases) fell by 21% globally. In that same period, malaria mortality rates among populations at risk fell by 29% globally among all age groups, and by 35% among children under 5.

The United States makes up just five percent of the world's population, but incarcerates 25 percent of the world's prisoners. In the U.S., there are nearly $1.6 million in state and federal U.S. prisons, according to the Justice Department’s Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).

In addition, the recidivism (return to prison) rate is extremely high. It’s reported that Inmates who break the law repeatedly can spend years going in and out of the system. Recent studies found that 67.8% of former state prisoners who were released in 2005, were re-arrested within three years, according to The Daily Beast. That figure shot up to 76.6% when considering those who were re-arrested within five years of their release.

Even with the above grim statistics, our President, Sherita Herring, successfully reduced the recidivism rate at the California Institution for Men (Chino), one of the largest prisons in the world, housing over 6,000. Working directly with the prisoners, Ms. Herring volunteered at the prison for 1½ years (2001-2002), providing male inmates with the skill sets to make positive and productive changes in their lives. The Prison 2 Prosperity (P2P) Project provided life-skills and job readiness training to better equip the men for employment procurement and job sustainability.

Because of the success of the program, the Chaplain at the prison wrote, “The feedback has been very positive. In addition, we have received contacts from inmates who have since paroled, expressing how the program has aided in their transition back to society.” Kreative is an invaluable service to CIM and the State of California.”

The goal for the GOTNI-USA African Leadership Conference was to create operational collaborative opportunities between the United States and Nigeria. To accomplish this, GOTNI-USA’s objective was to establish a “Triangle of Trust” with tangible strategies to achieve this Trans-Atlantic execution.

Held on July 9, 2017 in the Washington, DC area, this would prove to be advantageous for all, by creating outcomes for those that attended, thereby establishing linked relationships that lead to concrete deliverables.

Why is the “Triangle of Trust” needed?

From terrorist, economic and trade reports, to Facebook and email scams, many Americans have either experienced or heard about bad experiences when dealing with nations outside of the U.S.

The conference’s proposed efforts were geared toward developing strategies that would deal with compliance, transparency and enforcement, to build trust and understanding with individuals, companies and governments.

P.A.’s President established the GOTNI-USA nonprofit, while intricately working with Nigerian and U.S. leaders to host the African Leadership Conference, along with Linus Okori, GOTNI Founder and President.

Somewhere a volunteer reads to school children. A patient receives study medication. In D.C., a speaker testifies before Congress. On August 17, National Nonprofit Day reminds us that each of these scenes is possible because of the work by capable men, women and organizations. National Nonprofit Day recognizes more than their primary altruistic goals such as awareness, research, and aid, but it also recognizes the added positive impacts nonprofits have on communities.

For example, following the recent U.S. recession, in 2012 the nonprofit sector provided 5.4% of the nation's entire GDP (gross domestic product), or $887.3 billion; continuously employing nurses, web developers, lawyers, computer engineers and more (sources: John Hopkins and Tactical Philanthropy Advisors reports).

HOW TO OBSERVE - Take some time to learn more about nonprofits. Understanding that the funding for these organizations often satisfies more than the mission statement will help us see the benefits of supporting nonprofit organizations. Visit www.kifoundation.org to find out more and use #NationalNonprofitDay to share on social media.

HISTORY - Sherita Herring with Kreative Images Foundation founded National Nonprofit Day to educate, enlighten and empower others to make a difference, while acknowledging those that are in the trenches, impacting lives every day – the Change-Makers of the World!

August 17 is significant because the Tariff Act of 1894 imposed the first federal income tax on corporations which included exemptions for nonprofit corporations and charitable institutions. With a few modifications, nonprofit exemption remains a solid part of law, and has served significant benefits, both for communities and the economy.

The Registrar at National Day Calendar declared National Nonprofit Day to be observed annually in 2017.
